For the bandwidth privileged amongst us, as Cameron suggested, VNC
could do - in conjunction with another handy tool - x0rfbserver.
x0rfbserver speaks the VNC protocol (strictly the rfb protocol), but
exports your current X display. You can disable the remote kbd &
mouse (else it could make for an interesting talk :)

Hmm... it seriously wouldn't last terribly long. Unless of course I
combine it with a 3-hour crash course on LaTeX and the evolution of
the LCA handbook ... but I think the world would be a better place
without it :)
